As the new work "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige, after its release on July 3, the box office on the first day exceeded 102 million yuan, and continued to lead the summer season with a 35.09% scheduling ratio. After the movie was released, the reviews on the Internet also surged in a tide with mixed reviews. Not to mention anything else, five days after the Taoist priest went down the mountain, Boss Cha and Zhou Xiyu had become the new generation of national CPs.
LO Master Shi said that those who mention "The Grandmaster" are really good or bad.
"The Taoist Down the Mountain" can be said to be a movie that you can forget after watching it, but as a man who does what he says, you have to complain about it, and you will suffer and listen to me to say a few more words.

Director Chen's navy said frankly with a big face: "The Taoist priest" is ten stronger than "Hero" and ten stronger than "The Grandmaster" is ten stronger than "Ip Man".
I bah!
The original work was highly praised. Some people say that Xu Haofeng, if you can straighten your back and scold this, "The essence of the party is like a rascal", I will praise you as a "really hero who does not change your original intention", which is so refreshing. Many people like Xu Haofeng's original novel. The two chapters that impressed me the most in the book are: one is to check the boss's "Bai Jin Liyuan Disciple Head" against Ming Liusheng, and the other is the "Thousand-year Ganoderma lucidum" that the girl who became a savage cut off her arm and presented it to Da Chi.
I read this book. The first half is full of ancient dragon-like elegance and Li Bihua-like elegance. In the second half, I can see the taste of the third uncle of the Southern School. There is spiritual energy, but it is a spiritual method that appears and disappears from time to time. Sometimes I feel wonderful, and sometimes I feel like I see the so-called "textual suspense literature" on the street stall. To put it bluntly, I certainly understand people who like this novel, but if they like to read strange legends, many notes and novels in history are [the ones that are strongly recommended in Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, which is clean and beautiful]. If they like to watch public cases and fight against the game, it is better to go to Wudeng Huiyuan.
The novel is both wonderful and scattered, and adapted into a movie, which tests the director's skills. Before "The Promise" was filmed, a lot of people said that "Farewell My Concubine" was the director of the agency, but most people still don't believe it. The national teacher still has "Three Guns". As soon as "The Taoist priests descended from the mountain" came out, many people began to seriously think about the issue of directing on behalf of others. I don't think so. "Farewell My Concubine" is so successful. Director Chen has to thank Li Bihua and his brother. Without Cheng Dieyi, this movie would not have reached the altar.
And the soul character He Anxia in this "The Taoist Down the Mountain", Director Chen chose Wang Baoqiang to play. As a model of playing a fool in the Chinese film and television industry, Baby plays a Taoist who is watching the world coldly. It can only be said that the way is wrong from the beginning. When choosing such a book, it can be seen that the director also wants to pursue style, but pretending is about posture. Which Chinese director has no dream of martial arts? Ang Lee is poetic, the national teacher is rich in color, and the king of sunglasses is natural. Director Chen and Director Chen are clear and unique. I can't guess this mysterious man.

can’t guess too much. First of all, the narrator is He Anxia's son, so he is really a mess. The relationship between Wang Xiangning and He Anxia is too obscure in the movie. Many viewers don’t know if they have slept, so Director Chen took out his son. To be honest, the audience's IQ is OK now. There is no need to worry about making a narration and making a storyline. If you don't shoot randomly, we can all understand it. If the director and the audience maintain this IQ discrimination and insult each other, there will be only the small era left in the cinema.
Aaron Kwok's drama before his appearance was actually quite good. Taking him as the dividing line, the previous story is caused by a chicken, and the subsequent story ends with a Ji. The director hugged Park Shouzhen and refused to change his original intention. If it weren't for the obviousness of the Ji, he would have been misunderstood by mortals again.
Sister Zhiling is so coquettish. Although I like her gentle, beautiful, and high emotional intelligence, I can’t say that she is not a vase. I can’t do it. The vase is so beautiful.
Wu Dalang played by Fan Wei came out, I knew he was going to die in the bed. He pursued the joy of the world and gave up asking God for advice; his younger brother made him green and continued to help him; he met the little Taoist priest who had just come down the mountain on the way, and all these things were completely a secular and kind person.Unfortunately, Teacher Fan Wei is also a fool who is used to acting. He has a richer character, so he can only smile indifferently.

plays Wu Jianhao, who plays Cui Daorong. I have never seen other works of him, but I just think he has ruined the appearance of a male actress. Every move is hard like a firewood stick, with no figure at all. Of course, he is not a actor with a wrong personality, he also wants to sleep with a woman, and he is still a wife. But if you look at Zhang Dai's "Dream of Tao'an" you will know that there is no such thing as listening to and watching operas.
The special effect of the shipwreck suddenly exploded, which made me stunned. What Director Chen wants to express is like Atlantis under West Lake, which is so fantasy. The dead wife and Cui Daorong became the devil under He An. If you can’t take a picture of the director, you can draw it like Li Yu.

script is adapted into this way. The character Zhao Xinchuan can be used without coming out. Peng Qizi could go to the pharmacy and He An to stew meat at any time, so why bother to force logical coherence? After being poisoned, Zhou Xiyu and Peng Qianwu were naturally attracted, and this is a little more cult →_→. Zhao Xinchuan seems to be important, but in fact it is useless. Since the baby doesn’t want to use the Kowloons to beat Yuanhua in the end, why bother to teach him? How great it would be to save more than ten minutes to pat the love between Zhang Zhen and Guo Tianwang.
I personally have a lot of opinions about Rusong played by Teacher Wang Xueqi. The eminent monks and masters are either strange and elegant, or they are majestic and majestic standing on the dragon and elephant. However, Teacher Wang's Rusong always reminds me of Duan Xiaolou. Director Chen’s aesthetic has been like this for decades, and it is also filled with great love for the world. The monk enlightens people and likes to circle around and has many kinds of tricks. The snow peak rolls the ball, the deshan stick, and Linji drinks. Although it emphasizes understanding the nature and pointing directly to the heart, in order to enlighten the scholars, there are still differences in expressions of obstructing the Dharma and expressing the Dharma. Master Rusong has no sense of being virtuous. He feels heart-to-heart when he sees anyone, as friendly as Mr. Wang in the village, so uneducated. The director wanted to show off, but was afraid that the audience wouldn't understand. He carefully explained the role of Rusong: I'm optimistic, this is how I pretended to be. After all, the director feels sorry for the audience's IQ, but if you open the book and copy a few ready-made cases, it is better than this plain language. It is better to say that you are more likely to show off than to try to show off. Look at Wong Kar-wai.
My favorite part in the whole movie is Jaycee Chan and Wang Baoqiang eating poisonous meat to steal money box. The explosion of his head, the neck as thick as his head, his face was abominable, and he was stealing the merit box in the temple, which was as cool as Quentin. But before the addiction could come, King Guo came out to dance, which was disappointing. The fight scene in this movie is too heavy, but it doesn’t show a sense of agility. I was able to kneel down for special effects ten years ago, but now I just feel exaggerated. The audience hasn't recovered after watching "Shas the Wolf 2". The fight is so dreamy, and the psychological gap is too big. I think the contradiction is mainly the contradiction between Director Chen’s increasingly advanced thinking and the backward aesthetic of the people, just like "Wuji". But maybe in another ten years, the audience will understand.
Ape strike technique reminds me of Ah Qing in Yue Nu’s sword. Qiao Feng, Guo Jing, Ling Hu Chong and even martial arts masters like Sweeping Monk, who beat other masters in a fight, were indeed amazing. However, the Yue girl who practices martial arts with the white ape is no longer a summary of the word "powerful". Unofficial history has always been circulated with the legend of old ape competing and teaching people to practice martial arts. As soon as the ape strike technique came out, I knew that this thing was very arrogant, but I didn’t expect it to be so arrogant. It took two big men to practice it for ten years. Later, Zhou Xiyu died. Boss Cha and He An practiced ape strike technique. I didn't dare to think about it, and I felt sorry for Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen has been my male god for many years, from Sier to Luo Xiaohu, from Xiao Zhang to Shen Lian, the 20 years of dismal management style has been ruined. The boss is so beautiful, it is worthy of being the first appearance in Shanghai. But putting aside the nature of a fan girl, it is not something that can be saved by good-looking movies. If you have another ten bosses, you can't check it.
Finally, there is no harm without comparison. I didn’t mention “The Grandmaster”, right?
LO main thread removal towing deputy driver said, "The Taoist priest goes down the mountain" - a Wuzhishan that cannot be crossed
After watching "The Taoist priest goes down the mountain", I gave it three stars.
The original work is simply flipped over one third, so I am not particularly obsessed with the faithfulness of the adaptation. My reviews are based on the film itself as the basis of a brand new story.
Let’s talk about extra points first. The first is that the pace is very fast. For many viewers, it is easier to catch their attention every ten to fifteen minutes and will not doze off easily. This is a bonus of Hollywood-style techniques. Secondly, the arrangement of martial arts movements took some thought. Regardless of whether it is too hard or not, at least you have to admit that the arrangement is not perfunctory.

minus points is the picture. The colorful part of the picture of the Taoist priest going down the mountain is a bit floating, I don’t know if it is a problem with the setting or the technical problem during the production. It is generally reflected in the sight of the eyes. Perhaps it is related to the 3D recording process, or it may be the post-color tuning. The scene with dark colors is better, without this dazzling feeling. The bigger problem lies in the fragmentation of the plot. The original work itself is a fragmentary story, and it is impossible to make a movie without much modification. The adaptation has taken a lot of effort to show us the level of this adaptation so far. Trying to retain the "scattered" of the original work, it is not easy to have a sense of coherence. However, the finished product is not effective, and the narrative is divided into two major parts: the affairs of Cui Dao Ning's family and the affairs of Zhou Xiyu's family. There is no clue other than He Anxia shared between these two parts, and a movie was forced to form the first and second halfs.
It is said that Jaycee Chan was the second male lead, but now he has probably deleted at least half of the scenes. Based on this, Jaycee Chan's scandal caused great trouble to the editing. I guess the storyline has been adjusted for this. If this is true, Jackie Chan owes Chen Kaige a big favor.
As for the emotional scene between Zhou Xiyu and Boss Cha who evaluated the polarities, it has to be said to be a complex of Chen Kaige. Chen Kaige has always been very concerned about friendship, love and family relationship between homosexuals. Unfortunately, China's social atmosphere and film market are not so open, and he himself is probably not ready to do another farewell to the Concubine.

The reason why mountains are powerful is that they do not need similarities or dependence and support. They only need to stand between heaven and earth. Chen Kaige once had such a strong spirit, but the Taoist priest went down the mountain but failed to become the most beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain. It's a pity. May Director Chen regroup and find the confidence of the past in the more open Chinese film market.
LO main Tom Cat Loves Movies, Taoist priest, you should not go down the mountain.
Sometimes I really thank the trailer for allowing us to recognize many new films. It was earlier in June. I bought tickets for "Jurassic World" and thought about going to make it convenient before the opening. When I walked into the toilet, I found that the trailer for "The Taoist priest down the mountain" was placed on the screen in the toilet. The trailer was really funny. I thought Chen Kaige was still a little guarantee, after all, it was acceptable after watching the previous movie. As for why I went to watch this movie, I had to first mention the change in my attitude during this period. At that time, I went to the cinema and those who were not abroad did not watch it. Later, I found that there were still conscientious directors in China, and domestic producers were also working hard to support it. As a result, this mentality was shaken after I watched two bad movies in a row. .
Since this film was released until 18 o'clock in advance, I took a lot of McDonald's to watch the movie (I'm really hungry.) This started my two-hour speechless movie experience.
Chapter 0 Wang Baoqiang's laughter is so magical. I really couldn't control myself from the beginning and laughed out loud. . The cause is that Taoist temple cannot support so many people because of the shortage of food, so they hope to decide to stay or stay in the martial arts competition. The master thought to himself, "If you win the martial arts competition, you have the ability. If you have the ability, you will not starve to death." It is obvious that Wang Baoqiang went down the mountain.
After going down the mountain, the first person was Fan Wei. I have to say that Fan Wei really has such a good line skills. The verbal words are really powerful, and it is really great. After watching this movie, the memory of Fan Wei is in addition to the second half of the gay love.
If you want to say how unlucky our male protagonist is, and if one person dies, he has also learned many truths in these lives and deaths. As for these truths, they mainly come from the mouth of the monk played by Wang Xueqi, which is such a big bowl of chicken soup. . .
If the whole film is based on the narrative in the first half of the film, it is still a very real film. Unexpectedly, just after Fan Wei and Lin Chi-ling were offline, the whole film began to collapse. Jaycee Chan, Yuan Hua, Aaron Kwok, and Zhang Zhencheng began to bring this film into a low segment. . . The master-apprentice competition in the basketball court is very similar to a master. Is there any? It feels very good at fighting martial arts. . .

Jaycee Chan's episode was completely a piss point. When the hermit master Aaron Kwok went online, he showed off his martial arts, which shocked Wang Baoqiang and quickly went to become a disciple (but it was useless). After a passionate scene was interspersed in the middle, the film came to its climax. Aaron Kwok wanted to die before he was killed, and suddenly there was a strong sense of basic smell. Later, he learned about the past of the two people in Zhang Zhen's mouth, hugging, holding hands, rolling the grass field, living together, etc. If this doesn't surprise you, then the final battle and fighting scene will be so collapsed that you can't imagine. What the hell is this movie? ? What are you acting in? ? These are all kinds of things. . . .
Let me talk about the advantages and disadvantages of this film:
Advantages: Director Chen Kaige is still very skilled in selecting scenes and cameras, and it feels very comfortable to watch on the camera. This is completely different from the camera shot by an unknown little director in Hollywood.
also shows the director's intention in terms of special effects. Investment from Colombia has given this film a global market, so many places in the film are something that foreigners will like, but Chinese people are completely uninterested. But is the US dollar really easier to earn than the RMB?
Actors, Fan Wei, Aaron Kwok, Zhang Zhen and other supporting roles are so wonderful that they make people remember them very deeply.
Disadvantages: Maybe they are all big directors. Zhang Yimou tried his best to create a sense of color difference in the picture in "The Ten-Side Ambush", so he had a fight in spring, summer, autumn and winter. This film is also true. For example, it rains as soon as the game is played, and after the rain, it stops and compares the weather trailer, right? There was also Zhang Zhen and Aaron Kwok standing on the path in the middle of the river after rolling the grass. The water columns sprayed out from the water were neat and equally opposite each other. The gunner's skills were really intoxicating. This is really not very understandable.
Also, because the supporting roles are too exciting, Wang Baoqiang has a low presence, and he is not good at appearance and his acting skills are not good, which makes the supporting roles in this film completely steal the show.
The story is chaotic, making people feel that this movie is a pot of chowder. Director, is it really good for you? ?
Finally, it is really unnecessary to complain about 3d. . .
